I believe whole Carbon Black and Tanzu are gone. Any VMware offerings which are not profitable or which duplicates with existing subsidiaries of Broadcom (eg: Symantec) are gone.

Microsoft noobRE OP Sep 14, 2023

Would the Broadcom offer change current TC for exisiting employees?

Idk never worked at VMware. But if it changes I believe it will stay same or decrease over time. (And option vestings will switch to Broadcom stock)

Thanks for reminding me. I had to go do my stock election. Almost lost ~10k from forgetting

The stock is capped though, right?

If you don’t make an election, you get $142 per share. But you can elect to trade for 1/4 of a Broadcom share. Broadcom shares are $871 now. So you get $142 cash, or $217 worth of shares.

The majority of layoffs will come from duplicate orgs like Legal, HR etc... they're not spinning off Tanzu, it's a big part of what they're buying.

Why such otm strike??

Broadcom Ltd. AVGOKing Sep 14, 2023

Basically per employee revenue needs to be at least 1M. Rest all will be gone.

Is Broadcom stock a buy now?

Broadcom Ltd. SNGp84 Sep 17, 2023

Basically 65% layoff based on $1M rev per employee metric? VMware employees:~38,300 and TTM Rev is ~$13 3B.. is thats the case,, then it is brutal

Intel iodsg Sep 15, 2023

Hock Tan is ruthless while speaking of acquisition and laying people off. Feels bad for VMware guys

Broadcom Ltd. VffF42 Sep 17, 2023

Why is "greater than 50" not an option in the poll?

Broadcom Ltd. dedoi Sep 18, 2023

Add a 65% option to the poll please

Amazon cerelkiler Sep 20, 2023

Yes add 100 % as well. Broadcom will enjoy the VMware buildings

What about vRealize automation? Will it be culled?
